About the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ32X160-30
The AirTAC MBLCJ32X160-30 is a compact double-acting aluminum mini cylinder featuring a rear travel stopper and tunable air cushions at both ends. The 30 mm adjuster trims the rod extension back, creating a usable 130-160 mm stroke window for precise endpoint positioning. Delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it is built for mid-range actuation tasks.
Unlike the fixed rubber bumper found on the base MBLJ, the screw-tunable end cushions on this SKU allow you to dial in deceleration for faster cycling speeds, protecting the end covers from impact. The 12 mm carbon-steel rod features 20 um hard-chrome plating to resist scoring, while the riveted rolling-packed barrel ensures structural rigidity. Note that this specific configuration lacks a built-in magnet, meaning it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors without a physical upgrade.

The rear stopper sets the end position — it is a travel stop, not a lock. Overall length = A + 2 × stroke + adjustable stroke. MBLJ/MBLCJ mounting is Basic / FA / LB only (no SDB, no back-cover code). Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a margin.

Where the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ32X160-30 Is Used
PCB Depaneling Saw Feed
Drives a circular blade carriage through a 130-160 mm cut path. The 402 N push force handles the feed resistance, while the adjustable air cushion prevents jarring stops that could fracture the board edge.
Packaging Flap Tucking
Extends 150 mm to tuck carton flaps at high speed. The rear adjuster lets you fine-tune the tuck depth without moving the cylinder mount, accommodating varied box dimensions on the fly.
Textile Loom Beam Indexing
Indexes a heavy fabric beam precisely into the loom cradle. The 346 N pull force retracts the rod smoothly, and the tunable cushion absorbs the kinetic energy of the moving beam at stroke end.
Is the Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ32X160-30 the Right Cylinder?
Select this 32 mm bore when you need 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa alongside a 160 mm stroke. If your payload is lighter, stepping down to the 25 mm bore drops the output to 245 N but shrinks the physical envelope. Conversely, moving up to the 40 mm bore increases thrust to 628 N for heavier fixtures. The PT-threaded G1/8 port and M10x1.25 rod-end thread are standard for this size.
When replacing this unit, match the 32 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, 30 mm adjust code, PT port thread, and Basic mounting style. Remember that the rear 30 mm adjuster acts only as a travel stop to set the 130-160 mm window; it is not a mechanical lock and will not hold a load without constant air pressure. Similarly, the adjustable air cushion only governs end-of-stroke deceleration. Mounting is restricted to Basic, FA flange, or LB foot styles, as no back-cover or SDB pivot options exist for the MBLCJ series.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Adjustable window fits your end position
- ✓ Adjuster is a travel stop, not a lock
- ✓ Magnet (S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — add a guide on long strokes
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Set the rear stopper for the end position (a travel stop, not a lock).
- check Avoid side load; add an external guide on long strokes.
- check Mounting: Basic / FA flange / LB foot (no SDB, no back-cover code).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MBLCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MBLCJ32X160-30 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore cylinder provides 402 N of push force and 346 N of pull force. If you increase the operating pressure to 0.7 MPa, the push force rises to 563 N. The absolute maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No. Because this specific model code lacks the 'S' suffix, it is manufactured without a built-in piston magnet. To use AirTAC CMSG reed switches or DMSG/EMSG electronic sensors, you must source the -S variant of this cylinder.
